====== Thunderbird ======

===== Configuration =====
==== Wrap Lines ====
For some reason the setting to wraps lines of text is really hidden away--

Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor

--then search for 'wrap'.

==== Tasks ====

You can create custom categories for tasks (and events I assume), but they won't actually be registered and added to the dropdown list unless you add them via Settings > Calendar > Categories (at the bottom of that page). You can change the  colour here too.

===== Theming =====

===== Fixes =====
Thunderbird's great and all, but it's also messy!

==== Runs, but no window ==== 
A couple of times I've gotten stuck in situations where it would start, but no windows would actually appear, and it would just keep hogging CPU in the background.

Running ''thunderbird -safe-mode'' has always worked to fix things for me. Once you're back in Thunderbird you can try re-enabling add-ons to help determine the problem. For me it's always bloody Lightning.

Other things you might like to try are deleting everything in ''~/.cache/thunderbird'', and making sure the ''.parentlock'' is deleted when TB quits.

=====RSS=====

NB: You can filter [[RSS]] feeds that same way you do email messages. ''Tools > Message Filters > Filters For:'' ...
